Launch Event for Culture Fest International Any doubt that we’re living in a cross-cultural world is dissipated by listening to the flamenco guitar of Juanito Pascual, who celebrated the release of his latest CD, “Language of the Heart,” at a special benefit concert at Jordan Hall in Boston on June 19. It’s not just that the musician born Jonathan Gordan in Minnesota plays and composes flamenco, more accurately this mild-mannered Midwesterner seems to live and breathe flamenco.

LOWELL, MA USA, The Middlesex Beat Magazine: Valerie Parker has a lofty mission: to change the world. That may seem a tall order for the average person, but for her it goes with the territory. In 1997 the twenty-something Massachusetts native spearheaded a bold, non-profit initiative called Second World. Her formula is simple: Give back to the people what they deserve through fair trade. Really fair.
The barriers that have created separate worlds
among one humanity were created by men.
First World. Third World. Forget what you were told.
Enter the Second World!™
